Leadership lessons can be learnt from ordinary people around us. Believe me, when I say “ordinary” I really mean it. So here are two rock stars and what they have to teach us
Moron 1:
“People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do–what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.”
– Joe the Plumber aka Samuel Wurzelbacher in Christianity Today.
Leadership Lesson: These religious fanatics in the middle east are really dangerous. (If Ohio could be considered the middle east)
Leadership Advice: Crap seems to be seeping straight from your crap mixer through your pie hole. You are a plumber, cork it.

First semi-nude picture of Miss California was printed right after she cited her “faith” in opposing gay marriage. Her comment to the press:
“I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith.”
In private, she assured the pageant management that this was the only picture of her revealing her “faith”.
Ms. Prejean – yes that is her name “Pre Jean”; one could not have made this up – sent an email to Keith Lewis, Co-Executive Director of Miss California USA, in which she purportedly claimed “This was when I was 17 years old. I was a minor. It was when I was first getting into the modeling world, being naive, and young. I shouldnt (sic) have taken the photo of me in my underwear. There are no other photos of me. This was the only one I took.”
Then came out the second picture.
Now, it is being reported that her father is gay.

Leadership Advice: It seems you do not have a beautiful mind. You are a model, if you must, please ONLY reveal your outer self.
